code snippet above last paragraph |
Unless I missed something the code snippet will not work with groovyConsole without having Spring installed in your environment:
ctx.beanDefinitionNames.sort().each { println it }
true
Exception thrown

WARNING: Sanitizing stacktrace:
groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: ctx for class: ConsoleScript0

Note from the Author or Editor:
This is in the Groovy chapter as an example, but it will only work in Grails (using "grails console") since there are not necessarily any Spring beans in an arbitrary Groovy project. I'll add a note that this is Grails-specific. |

second line |
In the supplied source code, the single line is broken into two:
println "VCAP_SERVICES:
${System.getenv('VCAP_SERVICES')}\n"
However, this won't run correctly as the unnecessary line break will cause a compilation error. Should be
println "VCAP_SERVICES: ${System.getenv('VCAP_SERVICES')}\n"
Also, since the variable is defined in the line above, this could be compressed to
println "VCAP_SERVICES: $VCAP_SERVICES"

log4j appenders example |
There are commas missing before the two layout specifiers for the log4j appenders.
The layouts are attributes of the rollingFile and not separate entries.

middle of page |
It appears the end of the warning/caution section got clipped so part of it is missing, the second paragraph reads...
"You also cannot make primitive types nullable. If you could you would cause a NullPointerException when loading instances from the database since a null value from a column shouldn?t be assumed to be false or 0, so Hiber"
